I don't understand the "1000 days" reference. Is this a reference to the duration of the program or the mission. When does the 1000 days start? The "Project M" page has the same problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.212.253.128 ( talk) 18:21, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
"Work on some of the systems began in 2006, when NASA’s Constellation program planned a human return to the moon.
Having spent less than $7 million over 2.5 years, the Morpheus project is considered lean and low-cost for NASA.
Kennedy’s wide-open space at the end of the shuttle runway provided a convenient location for the test flights, which will climb as high as 1,600 feet, reach up to 70 mph and last as long as two minutes.
The 330-by-330-foot “hazard field” includes five potential landing pads, 311 piles of rocks and 24 craters that mimic an area on the moon’s south pole."

A Write-off is the technical term used by insurance companies when it is cheaper to replace a crashed car than to repair it. So calling the crashed Morpheus Lander a write-off was not vandalism. Now that you have supplied them I will leave the longer words. Andrew Swallow ( talk) 08:57, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
Sometime references for the upgrades will be useful. Andrew Swallow ( talk) 03:34, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
The "Health and safety issues" section seems way out of scope of the subject. Yes, rocketry is dangerous, but I don't think it is useful to make the article even longer with OSHA safety procedures and protocols, and its legalities. I propose to delete this section, but I am open to keeping one relevant sentence or paragraph if considered truly informative and substantial to the article.

I am pretty certain that it was the first untethered flight that crashed. All previous flights the vehicle had either been tied down or took off from the tether, which eliminated the ground effects. Andrew Swallow ( talk) 02:30, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Who was developing the various engines, eg. ND4, ND5 ? Which part of NASA, and with which industrial partners (if any) ? - Rod57 ( talk) 15:44, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
